Cambridge Technicals – Applied Science (OCR)
The Level 3 Cambridge Technicals in Applied Science have been developed to meet the changing needs of the sector, and prepare your students for the challenges they’ll face in Higher Education or employment. These qualifications have been designed in collaboration with experts spanning the breadth of the sector. They focus on the requirements that today’s universities, professional vocational colleges and employers demand. A wide range of centre assessed units with practical and wider project-based assessment opportunities, as well as examined units on Science Fundamentals, Laboratory Techniques and Scientific Analysis and Reporting, has resulted in focused qualifications which, dependent on the size chosen, either complement a Key Stage 5 study programme alongside other vocational qualifications, A Levels, or may constitute the bulk of a two-year study programme.
